This is a 4 Day Training Program for advanced Strength & Conditioning. It is built to use 3 main Sections per day (Stability/Mobility + Strength + Energy System Development). The program uses as little equipment as possible, focusing on Floor & Bodyweight exercises for Stability & Mobility and getting in control of your body, Kettlebells and Barbells for Strength & Conditioning and basic machines and/or running for Energy System Development (Put simply Speed, Anaerobic and Aerobic training). Building robust conditioning will help you in sport but also in every day life.

Each day has a different focus.

This will suit experienced gym goers with decent Strength Development and especially those who may want to get a bit more conditioned or even drop some fat.

It would also be very useful at different stages of the season for Track & Field Athletes, Rugby Players, Gaelic Footballers, Hurlers and basically any field Sport.

It cycles thru blocks of 4 weeks with a specific Build up of volume in Block 1, a more specific Strength & Power Block 2, and Block 3 is a realization of all this where everything is done faster, lighter and allows for Sports Training (or extra conditioning if you are just a Gym Rat) to take precedence.
